You can only see them through the in-game overlay for now but it's a start.

The functionality for that has been in the client for at least two months, but it was down to game devs to use it and add achievements themselves. So the actual story here is 'Devs Finally Make Use of Months Old Feature'.

There's an in-game overlay?

There's an in-game overlay?

Yes but only for certain games so far.

I for one hope that all games from the Epic store will eventually get achievements. I really hot inconsistency when it comes to earning them.

Woah. Neck breaking pace of progress right there.

Exactly my first thought

Hoping Nintendo implements something similar one day. I don’t care what the nay-sayers say about breaking immersion, it gives games playback capabilities and it’s just fun to challenge yourself.

Fully agree!

My favourite thing about EGS is when the web-based interface fails to load with no explanation. I love that.

I was hoping that they wouldn't port that garbage. Achievements are scourge of modern games.
Back when achievements didn't exist developers themselves put plenty of extra small stuff, records to break, cheats to unlock etc.

Since introduction of achievegarbage all of above are pretty much gone. Why would you think about some records, cheats etc when you can just give people some worthless digital jpeg.

It also becamse same kind of crap like all those Facebook games informing you about your friend farm status as if you cared.
